AIADMK has its own unique way of handling oppn parties: Karuna

Chennai, Feb 1: In the wake of the en masse eviction of the Opposition DMDK from the Tamil Nadu Assembly, DMK President M Karunanidhi today said the ruling AIADMK had its own "unique" way of handling opposition parties.

"AIADMK has its own unique way of handling the opposition parties.That is being followed now also," he said in response to reporters' queries about complaints from opposition MLAs that they were not given adequate time to speak.

He declined to comment on Jayalalithaa's statment that she regretted aligning with DMDK for the April 13, 2011 polls, in which DMK was defeated by AIADMK-led combine, comprising DMDK and Left parties besides some other small outfits. DMK not only lost, but was pushed to the third spot in the Assembly, making DMDK the main Opposition party.

Earlier in the day, DMDK members including its founder, actor-politician Vijayakanth, were evicted from the Assembly, following a war of words between Jayalalithaa and the former.
